The Thought Leader Revolution Podcast EP693: Dr. Mort Orman - Your Brain Is Like The Media, It Can't Be Trusted
“You can be extremely productive and have very little stress in your life. And a lot of people have done that to their surprise… boom, it’s like an explosion of productivity.”
When stress hijacks your clarity, your brain becomes the worst kind of news outlet—one that feeds you a distorted, fear-driven narrative. This episode breaks down why emotions like anger and anxiety aren’t triggered by the events themselves, but by invisible mental filters convincing you that you’re under attack. These same filters—blame, harm, and wrongdoing—can torpedo decision-making, damage relationships, and sabotage leadership if left unexamined.
Dr. Mort Orman shares the system he developed after decades of personal struggle and medical practice: a repeatable method for dismantling emotional triggers and regaining control. From navigating corporate stress to dealing with bureaucratic injustice, he explains how to transform emotional reactions into powerful clarity by reframing your internal narratives.
Dr. Mort Orman is a physician, stress relief expert, and the author of Dr. Orman’s Life-Changing Anger Cure. He’s published 26 books on emotional mastery and helps leaders eliminate chronic stress and anger so they can operate at peak performance—without wrecking their health or relationships.
